I actually bought the 10-18 for real estate photography and had to return it. It consistently made a magenta ghosting effect at windows, chandeliers and any bright spot in the photo. I bought a used 10-22 and was much happier. No ghosting on the old 10-22.
This video helped me out greatly several years back when I first started shooting with canon glass. One thing I have since learned is that 10-18 has some seriously crazy lens flares when shooting towards a light fixture such as a chandelier, etc. I shoot real estate so this happens often. I also have the tokina 11-16 and it produces 0 lens flares when shot in the same situation as the 10-18. I just bought the 10-22 to try out now and hoping it is like the tokina with less flares because I really like that 1mm extra width from the canon. Tokina definitely has more chromatic aberrations (easy enough to fix in post). Figured I would add my 2-cents to anyone curious on how these do for real estate.
@@luisungredda9029 yes, it is 100% usable. I used the 10-18 professionally for years and it is easy enough to edit out the lens flares. They typically show up around unshaded light sources like chandeliers. I still have one of my shooters using the 10-18 daily for property shoots. I personally use the 10-22 now if on a crop canon and my 15mm Loawa if on my full frame sony. It just saves me a bit of time not editing out the flares but again its not every picture, just when pointed at an open light source. Hope that helps,
@@nishanketbaniya9476 really depends on what kind of work you are planning to do with it. I shoot real estate so a full manual lens works well for me. Loawa does a 15mm full manual (focus and aperture) lens for canon full frame. Reason I like loawa is because they have a zero distortion and f2.0 is great for low light interior video. Look up on B&H Photos website "Venus Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Canon EOS." That is my go-to for real estate. Lens is on the pricy side for full manual for the zero distortion and high quality image saves me a lot of time from post process editing. If you need auto focus, probably go with one of canons 16mm full frame options. They have several like a 16-35, but I am very happy with my laowa. If you need a more budget friendly full frame lens, Rokinon has several. Their 14mm puts out a decent image but you will have distortion that you have to correct in post processing. I have used all of these at one point. Best of luck!
Just realized PhotoRec Tv has a video comp for the Laowa lens as well. His videos are super helpful seeing comparisons like these. th-cam.com/video/JlRf7jIMy8E/w-d-xo.html
I love night time photography. The Tokina really is the only choice. Philip Bloom has recommend it at 16mm for a FF camera. Ive tried it on a 5DMII and found it to be crazy wide but usable (smidgen of vinette). However I bought the Canon 10-18mm for daytime shooting, and which now I will try for silky smooth water falls. I like to shoot inside Cathedrals when I travel and found the 10-18mm was very weak in these darker sanctuaries (ISO cranked adds grain, and the shadows were unacceptable). Thanx for your review.
I have the Canon 10-18, and the Tokina 11-16. Tokina for low light stuff and in doors, as I don't find the Canon isn't much use after dark. Having said that, the Tokina flares terribly in night street photography, the Canon is better if the scene is a non moving one. The Canon is brilliant in the daytime, and is ultra quiet and ultra light if you need to carry it around all day, like I do. However, the Tokina is also brilliant in the day, and produces lovely starpoints/starburst when you stop it down. The main drawback is the Tokina weighs a ton in comparison to the Canon, and doesn't focus nowhere as close to the subject if you need that. For video, use the Canon; for photography use the Tokina. If you use the Canon for photography, make sure you have light or a flash.
I own the 10 - 22 for about a year and I think if I had to choose once again, I would still buy the 10 - 22. USM is more trustworthy than STM with my 7D, more light than 10 - 18 and, don't forget, that 22 mm on crop sensor is about 35 on FF - which is wide standard and works pretty good in repo.
I have a 7D with a couple of L lenses, 70-200f2.8L non is, 17-40 f4L,(my general walk around zoom lens), and was looking for a wide angle crop lens for my Canon. I found great information and specs with your video on these 3 lenses that I'm currently considering. I think I might have a winner with the 10-18 Canon. I definitely needed this range to be completely covered. Thanks for this great informative video.
Canon 10-18mm is miles better than other lenses in this comparison. It gives equal sharpness BUT is much better at chromatic aberation than Tokina, much quieter and smoother in video capturing, has IS, and can focus very close. Slower f-stop doesn't mean anything, as it has aforementioned IS, and with it it actually becomes more capable of taking handheld sharper pictures in low light than any other lens here. It is slower maybe 1-2 stops, but it is compensating this with 4 stops capable IS ! Today's DSLR mostly have excellent ISO performances, so that doesn't matter too. And is cheapest lens here..all in all great lens for money.
I really appreciated your video. It's about one mounth i'm thinking to buy one of this three objectives, and today i've bought the canon 10 - 18. I'm waiting from Amazon. And than i saw your video. Happy to see i've done the right choise.
It seems I always seek out these comparisons after the fact, but it's nice to see I chose the right lens! I had ordered the 10-18mm on a $299.00(Canadian) boxing day deal, but then was considering a used Tokina at the same price. The Tokina owner is out of town, so I couldn't pull the trigger; glad I didn't. Thanks for a great comparison review of exactly the three lenses I was considering, your effort and expertise are greatly appreciated. 🙏
I came from the Tamron 10-24mm which always had distortion on the edges(old model not new), but i worked with what I had then. Just two months ago I got the 77D, what was my first choice for UWA lens? the Canon 10-18mm stm, trust me all the reviews are NOT wrong about this lens its painfully sharp right across the lens. I would have got the Tokina for low light work, but I really don't need 2.8 in a bright sunny part of the World that I live in. Toby is right, unless your doing star trails and night time landscape the Canon will trounce the Tokina every time. Thanks for a great comparison Toby, love your reviews, always balance and sensible conclusions built on hard facts and your experience.
I was torn between the Canon 10 - 18 and the Tokina 11 - 16 but this video helped me clear my ideas! I was really looking for a review like this with the photo and video comparison (with also the sound, as I was thinking about using the lens also for shooting some videos). Thank you much! You gained a subscriber! ☺️
Most of what I shoot is video indoors in basement so I require the STM and larger aperture. I have video lighting but not sufficient for even my 18-55 at F3.5 without pushing the ISO. It's too bad Canon doesn't have an F2.8 at higher price point. It will cost me a couple hundred just to get sufficient lighting for F4.5. I'd rather that money go into a more robust lens.
Thank you for making this review. I have been making tons of notes have had the hardest darn time figuring out which features are worth giving up on a wide angle lens and which I will be using more. Your straight to the point, non boasting personality also make you enjoyable to watch. So many people start off talking for so long that I have to fast forward to get to the actual info. Thanks again, I will check ya out on Facebook!
Excellent review that helped me so much with making up my mind about which wide angle lens to buy. Every second of the video really well used. And you did it with no cuts :) Thank you.
In my view the 10-18 has too many issues with flaring and ghosting of light sources, be it windows or light bulbs. I have owned the 10-18 for 2 years and recently purchased the 10-22 and the ghosting has completely disappeared from my interior real estate photography meaning i spend much less time in post fixing the ghosting,, the extra $300 for the 10-22 over the 10-18 is worth it for the time savings in post production.
If I do have a bad lens, I'm not the only one, the online research I have done seems to indicate that it is a fairly common issue, especially within the real estate photography sector.
ep I tested the 10-18 from canon and tested with sigma 10-20 and tokina 11-16... 10-18 has problems with light bulb flares sun and in some cases ghosting ... but I will buy it anyway is a cheep lens and very sharp, I like the macro shoots to:)) I shoot landscape so it will wor for me, but if anyone work with direct light I don't recommended
Agree. Unfortunately I haven't tried the other lenses and I'm itching to resolve this. The flare is in about 50% of my interior real estate shots. Outside it's not as much a problem with the lens hood, but I'm not as happy with my 10-18mm as all these reviewers seem to be but it's when comparing to the other limited choices for a crop.
Thank you for the good review. I just bought USED Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX lens for my Canon 70D and found that auto focus does not focusing correct especially at the short distance and need to be corrected with manual focus but my other lenses are fine. Would like to have your opinion, please, do you think is something wrong with the lens or ...? Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the detailed review. I was confused between 10-188mm and 10-22mm since the former has a plastic mount. This review helped me a lot. Going for the 10-18mm.
I have used the Canon 10-22 for a few years now and it is great! However, I suffer from G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome) and may just have to pick up that 10-18 for video with that STM quietness! Thanks for your reviews with video AND pics.
Thank you! this is the best video on youtube displaying the auto focus noise! a lot of other reviewers either skip this issue or don't compare the sounds! I'll be getting the 10-18 for the silence :)
Came across your video today. Love the comparisons. U explained all very well and at an understandable pace. I will buy that 10-18mm lens for my Canon EOS 800D. It will suit my Real Estate well.
thank for the review. I've bought the 10-18mm because of all the glowing reviews everywhere. I have a 17-40mm but I wanted an even wider lens and this seems to be the best one (for cropped sensors)
Greatly appreciate this video. I will be purchasing the Canon 10-18mm after much debate and watching this video. Definitely cleared it up for me, and allowed me the ability to make a sound choice. Great work, you have a new subscriber from here on out! - James, DJMP
Great video even after ten years. I love the 10 - 18. I bought a metal mount replacement part for the plastic mount. I got it on Amazon and the install was easy.
I just purchased the Tokina 11 - 20mm from Amazon. The Focus Mechanism is not working. I am about to return it... I really NEED the f/2.8 because most of my photos and video work is in dark night clubs. I will go purchase the Canon 10 - 18mm instead. I seem to have problems with NON CANON lenses. I also have the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. It focuses too slow for what I do. I rented the Tokina 11 - 16 from Adorama to test to see if I would like it before I purchased the Tokina and I loved it. Now my lens arrives in the mail and it's not working.... UGGGGGG!!!! So I will STICK TO CANON LENSES!!!! Thank you for your ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL REVIEWS. They are much needed and appreciated.
Hi, I have a question. I know that Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm F2.8 wasn't mentioned in this video, but I just couldn't find any comparisons between it and Canon 10-18mm. In case you tested both, can I ask, which one of them would you recommend for video recording more? They are both at pretty similar price point right now and I am not sure which one to choose. Thank you very much for your time. :)
Nice breakdown on the lenses, so excited I just bought my 10-18mm lens online about to get it this week. Thank you man. I ant wait to do my vlogs with it.
What about the Sigma 10-20? I want an ultra wide to start with landscapes and I've seen the Sigma 10-20, Canon 10-18 and the Tokina you mentioned. The fact is: I red a lot of nice reviews about the Canon 10-18(as you said no reasons to consider the 10-22) but it's way cheaper and "plasticky" so I wonder: if I have the budget would the Sigma/Tokina be better or the Canon price is just fooling me for no reason? What do you think of the Sigma?
Thanks for a great review of these lenses Toby! Can you please let me know which camera and lens you used to record yourself in the first section of the video?(0:12 to 9:00 or so) Thanks!
The Tokina has a constant aperture of 2.8, meaning that you will get anywhere from 1-2 stops more light. This could mean dropping the ISO down from 3200 to 1600 or even 800! In my opinion, this makes it better for astrophotography :)
Unfortunately I had two Tokina 11-16 now, both with sharpening problems in infinity. I now got myself a Sigma 10-22mm f/3.5 I'll see tonight if it's a good choice.
+Florian Fabian I'm back from a Milky Way trip and I can say, the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is the right objective for me :) After I was extremely disapointed from the two Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 I tried, the Sigma has healed the wounds. I got mine for 399€, so I guess it's still in a good price range and an alternative for the Canon 10-22
I assumed that the new Canon would be a "cheaper" lens than the Tokina because of the brand premium bit. But looking at that chormatic aberration from the Tokina... it just put off buying it! I fount it second hand for 165 euros, vs 225 for the Canon brand new. I think I'll save up for the Canon.
Thanks for your really useful video, of all the reviews on the 10-18mm lens, I found this to be the most informative. A wide angle lens is something I have been sitting on the fence on for a while, mainly justifying the cost. Helps that the 10-18mm is the same filter size (67mm) as 18-135mm, saving lots on extra filters! Could I just ask, how does the 10-18mm perform on long exposures, I know you said no starry skies, but what about dawn and dusk shots? PS. Sorry but I don't shop from B&H, mostly due to the customs charges that I'd be dealing with. Believe Amazon UK also give commissions? Not sure about DigitalRev or Onestopdigital?
Very nice video Toby. I'm deciding if i should get the Tokina or the canon 10-18 though i like the tokina more than the canon. I have the 18-135mm stm so i dont really need another stm. I love the f2.8 good for shooting night sky/scene and the only thing the downside it doesn't have IS.. but does it matter if i shoot for landscape outdoors aswell? Help would be appreciate.
The 10-22 f3.5-4.5 USM is the classic alrounder; good range, and good aperture. The 10-18 f4.5-5.6 IS STM is a good entry level UWA that is small, lightweight, cheap and the STM is great for videos, but limited zoom range and limited low light. The Tokina 11-16 f2.8 is great for wide aperture, but very limited range.
Tokina has a significant amount of ghosting and flarring when pointed yowards light sources, whereas the canon copes with those issues much more elegantly
hi there, many thanks for the video, its very helpfull for many questions about this class lensess. i want to ask you about tokina 11-16 f:2.8 because i have the canon 10-18 mm lens for my apsc camera and i really didnt like its video sharpness. i am using tamron24-70 mm on my full frame dslr camera, tamron's wide angle sharpness and contrass is very well for for my video works. but on my second camera -7dmark ii apsc- the 10-18 is a disapointment for me. Maybe i am talking between very different lens classes but i want to ask you is tokina can solve my problem? or what do you suggest for me?
Just got a used 10-22mm at KEH excellent rate at $117.00 for my R7. it is a bargain lens. It is super fast and images are clear. I did look at those kit lens RF for the R7 but build quality is not compared to the old EF-S lens.
Fantastic video, thanks for making this. I've got a really tough decision as to which lens to get.... I'm going to Iceland soon and want to take photos of the Northern Lights if we are lucky enough to see them whilst there. Having had a look on flickr there are some absolutely amazing shots with the Tokina, and obviously hardly any with the 10-18 due to the aperture difference (such a shame Canon couldn't make this lens 2.8 but then I guess the price would be a lot higher).. our trip is for a week, and then when I get home I will be shooting landscape shots between dawn, day and dusk, in England, UK... so I wouldn't neccessarily _need_ the Tokina back home.... What do you think I should do ? I could hire the Tokina for Iceland and buy the Canon when I come back from our trip I guess, but I don't know whether to just buy the Tokina and save having to spend money on hiring a lens just for Iceland.
Hi Toby, I hadn't heard of your channel before today. Whilst looking at sample images from members of a forum, I came across a link to this comparison. Was very useful, thank you. I shall be subscribing!
I'm looking for a wide angle to have a better reach at shooting fireworks shows. I'm not sure if I should pick the Tokina, on of the Canons or even the Sigma 10-20mm. What would you recommend ? I don't like the fact that the 10-18mm Canon is full plastic.
I ended up going with the Tokina due to the low-light performance and the ability to use it on my bmpcc 4k w/speedbooster combo but what I got was un-fixable chromatic aberration and poor image quality so I sold it and bought a used Canon 10-18mm. I can only use it on my Rebel T8i now but the image quality so much better.
I am using a canon 18-135 IS STM ...and i can it's a very silent a razor sharp new technology lens ..the 10-18 will surely do good job ..thanks for the video
Nice and helpfull video. On video use, the auto-focus sound it seems to be a huge problem, so can you tell me which is the lens used at 17:38 that doesn´t make any sound at all? And at 17:48, is the other canon? Ty
Hi Toby,I looked at your review on the Sigma 17-70. Thank you for that. I'm now thinking of buying one. Here where i live i can buy a refurbished one for 400 US or the older version for around 300 US. Is the newer version much better than the last should i save myself a hundred US and go with the older model? What would you do?
Thanks for the detailed review. Apart from the problem while shooting night sky with Canon 10-18 which you mentioned in the video, is there any problem with it while shooting landscapes? Also is there any other lens suggestion that you have for wide angle landscape?
Very good review. Had to hit the subscribe. I just got the Sigma 17-50mm but I am missing that wide angle so this review was very helpful. Keep 'em coming.
Good morning there, would like your honest opinion bro. sigma 10-20, tamron 10-24, tokina 11-16 and the tokina 12-24.. between the four 3rd party lenses.. which suits me most? i am doing weddings, outdoors/landscaping and a lil bit of video. am using a nikon d7100. thanks :)
Hi, for a real estate video, wich one is better brother? thanks for the answer, i think tokina is the best option because the interior of the houses.. isnt it?
Honestly all three would do well. Inside a house where it is dark the faster aperture could help but really you want good depth of field inside always so you should be on a tripod.
I really apreciate this! exactly im looking beetwen this two lenses the Tokina and the Canon 10-22 and maybe you can help me. My first idea is for Landscapes and some kind of Milkyway timelapses, can you give me an advice? i feel the 10-22 a little bit more sharpness and the colors but is not too fast. What did you think? Thanks for this!!!
love your channel!!! i watched your reviews and commend the detail you give and how professional you are with your delivery and with your videos. For fast moving objects or persons in your video... which lens do you recommend for my canon 70d, the tokina or canon 10-18? thank you!
Hi, I am a nikon user so do not have the option to go with canon 10-18mm (i wish i could have a canon camera especially for wide angle lens), anyways...please could you advise whether i can go ahead with the (Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II AF 11 - 16 mm f/2.8). I want a wide angle lens which will last for atleast a decade with me and i can use it for any landscape shoot. Please comment, thanks :)
Hi, thanks for great review! I am looking for wide angle lens to shoot for mainly night photography. I currently have 30mm f/1.4 sigma. which does great photos in the dark but obviously it doesnt zoom and many times its frustrating because things like buildings and night sky don't fit. so I am leaning toward tokina 11-16. it seems to me for the price it is the best choice. what do you think?
Hey hello! I have a question. I own a 750d. If I use this lwns on my camera will it be a 16-28 due to it's 1,6 crop factor or will I actualu get that really wide 10-18 Thanks in advance :)
Love the video! Quick question.. I'm getting into wide angle photography and am interested in this 10-18mm lens as well as the Tokina 11-16mm. I will definitely use either lens for daytime landscape shots and other shots during the day but i'm also trying to get into astrophotography and low light shoots. I know that the 2.8 would probably be better than the 4.5 for these low light situations but wanted to get your opinion on these specific areas. I'm also thinking about adding the 50mm 1.8 or the 40mm 2.8 for these low light options/ astrophotography but wasn't sure if either of these lens would perform well for these tasks. any help is appreciated thanks. also currently shooting on t2i
I don't really take many indoor photos. Looking for more of a Landscape lens and trying to get into night/star photography. I already have a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8. Which of the 10-18 or the 11-16 would you recommend? Or would you maybe recommend a prime lens (ie 20mmf2.8)?
Hi Toby, I have 70d + 18-135mm lens. I like to shoot landscape a lot and start consider to buy a wide angle lens. Do you still recommend I buy 10-18mm? What's pros that 10-18mm over 18-135mm besides the wider angle? Is image quality better? sharper? Appreciate you thoughts in advance
hello, toby, like your videos a lot, do you have a review for canon 17-35mm, canon 17-40mm, vs tokina 16-28mm review, any pros & cons for landscape/night shoot? Appreciate your opinion,
if I already have 10-18mm, would the 11-16mm F/2.8 Tokina be worth the upgrade cost? Sometimes I can't setup a light and vlog in lower light conditions. Since I record at 24fps, I run 1/50, but with the 10-18mm, that means the widest aperture I can run is F/4.5 which makes me have to use 400ISO or 800ISO. I'd like to be able to use 200ISO at least.
Thank you sooo much Toby, I really needed this review as I am looking for a wide angle lens for my Canon 90D and with your help I have come to a consensus on the 10-18mm lens.
hey there, can you tell me which one to get on an apsc sensor? Rokinon 10mm f2.8 tokina 11-16 f2.8 Rokinon 14mm f2.8 I intend to be doing some star trails and landscapes
Hi i have canon 650d and im looking for a wide angle lens for landscapes shooting, im not gonna shoot any stars. i saw there is a Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM lens but im not sure which lend is better for me - the one above or the tokina 11-16 thanx for ur help. Shay.
Nice review, altough i´ m a bit late :) I already own the 10-18 and it tends to flare a lot, when i use it for landscapes. So i´m thinking about getting the 10-22. I read some reviews, where it shows less weakness in that case. I´m also looking for a lens, that is better for starphotography - any suggestions here? Maybe a fixed lens 10mm, if there anything on the market?!
I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark111 with EF 24-105 mm lens. I have recently taken up photography as a hobby and am looking for a good Wide-Angle lens for my camera. I would like to know which one to buy as I know nothing about lenses.
Thank you very much for this video, I was going to go for the Canon 10-22, but now going with the Canon 10-18. The only real reason I'm not going Tokina is because of the 1.6mm difference at the wide end on the 7DII. Do B&H ship to England please?
If you shoot wedding and use APS-C Canons, I recommend the Tokina hands down. And if you film, still Tokina by far. This is from my expierence. Never used the 10-18mm, but I have used the 10-22 and the Tokina.
hi Toby, I know you are a busy person, but i hope you get some time to reply and that will help me a big time:) I need your help: I m looking to upgrade my kit lens, I have a 550D, with the following lenses: 50mm 1.8 18-135mm Kit lens After your recommendations, I am thinking of adding 10-18mm, you think this will work on my 550D? also what other lens would you recommend for me, I am new to this and budget is not super high, I mostly do Filming for fun and make action or some short independent movies. What do you think about Canon 24-105 L lens for my camera for videos? please reply so I can make a decision. and I will be following your link.....to place an order unless its cheaper somewhere else.. remember budget is low :) Best. Sunny
Very nice comparison, Thanks! :) I have many doubts about the Caon EF-S 10-18 because of its f 4,5-f 5,6, but i don't have much money, so... i am curious and looking after some review of samyang (rokinon, bower, etc) wide angle lenses (14 and the new 10mm f 2,8). I don't fear the manual focusing (i've started shooting in the film era), but, well... how is the samyang 10mm in comparison with the canon ef-s 10-18? Thanks! :)
Thanks for a good review.. im looking for a wide angle lens for my 70d that i'm gonna shoot pic/video in day light/night as well. which ones would you choice of all 3 and why?
Great video! What would you recommend as being the most cost effective Camera and Lens for a vlogger, a lot of moving objects at times, and still videos too? Ideally, I want a Canon 70D with the 10-18 lens but is there a cheaper one that can get the job done?
Very nice comparison with images but what is left out is the image quality comparison and giving a proposal what each of these lenses would suit for. I know that you can find this information on many web sites but it would be nice to have it also here at one place. I am deciding between Tokina and Canon 10-22 and so far I'm more on Canon side. Tokina is supposed to be more sharp especially when stopped down but it has really heavy CA issues and shooting directly to sun will produce a lot of sun glare and ghosts. Canon 10-22 is not as sharp as Tokina (even though from sample images I saw elsewhere it seems that it has better sharpness in corners than Tokina) but it has better handling of CA and is excellent when shooting towards sun. I haven't checked 10-18, yet but I had an opportunity to test it for a while and I wasn't impressed with sharpness. Which one would you recommend for landscape photography?
Thanks for the review Toby, I have already bought the Canon 10-18mm STM for my 70D so I am pleased that you like it. You mentioned about updating the camera firmware for the Canon 10-18mm, how would I know which lenses are currently supported by the firmware and how would I update the cameras firmware, does it have to go back to the store? In the box for the 10-18mm was a leaflet that said the camera firmware would have to be updated if I was using a Rebel T5i/700D but didn't mention anything about the 70D.
Hi Paul, They should release new firmware soon - it will be a file that we can download form the canon site - follow me on facebook facebook.com/Digital.Photo.Recommendations/ and I will be sure to let people know.
I actually bought the 10-18 for real estate photography and had to return it. It consistently made a magenta ghosting effect at windows, chandeliers and any bright spot in the photo. I bought a used 10-22 and was much happier. No ghosting on the old 10-22.
This video helped me out greatly several years back when I first started shooting with canon glass. One thing I have since learned is that 10-18 has some seriously crazy lens flares when shooting towards a light fixture such as a chandelier, etc. I shoot real estate so this happens often. I also have the tokina 11-16 and it produces 0 lens flares when shot in the same situation as the 10-18. I just bought the 10-22 to try out now and hoping it is like the tokina with less flares because I really like that 1mm extra width from the canon. Tokina definitely has more chromatic aberrations (easy enough to fix in post). Figured I would add my 2-cents to anyone curious on how these do for real estate.
Is the 10-18 still usable? Or is there a way to mitigate the lense flares?
@@luisungredda9029 yes, it is 100% usable. I used the 10-18 professionally for years and it is easy enough to edit out the lens flares. They typically show up around unshaded light sources like chandeliers. I still have one of my shooters using the 10-18 daily for property shoots. I personally use the 10-22 now if on a crop canon and my 15mm Loawa if on my full frame sony. It just saves me a bit of time not editing out the flares but again its not every picture, just when pointed at an open light source. Hope that helps,
@@ThePhotoForce thanks my man
@@nishanketbaniya9476 really depends on what kind of work you are planning to do with it. I shoot real estate so a full manual lens works well for me. Loawa does a 15mm full manual (focus and aperture) lens for canon full frame. Reason I like loawa is because they have a zero distortion and f2.0 is great for low light interior video. Look up on B&H Photos website "Venus Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Canon EOS." That is my go-to for real estate. Lens is on the pricy side for full manual for the zero distortion and high quality image saves me a lot of time from post process editing. If you need auto focus, probably go with one of canons 16mm full frame options. They have several like a 16-35, but I am very happy with my laowa. If you need a more budget friendly full frame lens, Rokinon has several. Their 14mm puts out a decent image but you will have distortion that you have to correct in post processing. I have used all of these at one point. Best of luck!
Just realized PhotoRec Tv has a video comp for the Laowa lens as well. His videos are super helpful seeing comparisons like these. th-cam.com/video/JlRf7jIMy8E/w-d-xo.html
Great video! I’m using the 10-18mm for my real estate videos. Love the ultra wide angle capabilities it offers. Thanks!
I love night time photography. The Tokina really is the only choice. Philip Bloom has recommend it at 16mm for a FF camera. Ive tried it on a 5DMII and found it to be crazy wide but usable (smidgen of vinette). However I bought the Canon 10-18mm for daytime shooting, and which now I will try for silky smooth water falls. I like to shoot inside Cathedrals when I travel and found the 10-18mm was very weak in these darker sanctuaries (ISO cranked adds grain, and the shadows were unacceptable). Thanx for your review.
I have the Canon 10-18, and the Tokina 11-16. Tokina for low light stuff and in doors, as I don't find the Canon isn't much use after dark. Having said that, the Tokina flares terribly in night street photography, the Canon is better if the scene is a non moving one.
The Canon is brilliant in the daytime, and is ultra quiet and ultra light if you need to carry it around all day, like I do. However, the Tokina is also brilliant in the day, and produces lovely starpoints/starburst when you stop it down. The main drawback is the Tokina weighs a ton in comparison to the Canon, and doesn't focus nowhere as close to the subject if you need that.
For video, use the Canon; for photography use the Tokina. If you use the Canon for photography, make sure you have light or a flash.
jetblakink Agree. I am a vlogger. I use canon 10-18mm for daylight and the Tokina 11-16 for low light conditions.
Coach Bay How is the 11-16 for daily vlogging.
Best comparison video between 10-18 & 11-16
I own the 10 - 22 for about a year and I think if I had to choose once again, I would still buy the 10 - 22. USM is more trustworthy than STM with my 7D, more light than 10 - 18 and, don't forget, that 22 mm on crop sensor is about 35 on FF - which is wide standard and works pretty good in repo.
I have a 7D with a couple of L lenses, 70-200f2.8L non is, 17-40 f4L,(my general walk around zoom lens), and was looking for a wide angle crop lens for my Canon. I found great information and specs with your video on these 3 lenses that I'm currently considering. I think I might have a winner with the 10-18 Canon. I definitely needed this range to be completely covered. Thanks for this great informative video.
Canon 10-18mm is miles better than other lenses in this comparison. It gives equal sharpness BUT is much better at chromatic aberation than Tokina, much quieter and smoother in video capturing, has IS, and can focus very close. Slower f-stop doesn't mean anything, as it has aforementioned IS, and with it it actually becomes more capable of taking handheld sharper pictures in low light than any other lens here. It is slower maybe 1-2 stops, but it is compensating this with 4 stops capable IS ! Today's DSLR mostly have excellent ISO performances, so that doesn't matter too. And is cheapest lens here..all in all great lens for money.
The aperture will matter for video though.
Yeah the high aperture is my fear for indoor video even with controlled lighting. I’m so used to 1.8 or 2.8 that 4.5 is scaring me off the 18-10
@@TheBrokenMeeple No need to be. I can handheld a 1 second photo with it! It's actually better in low light than the others due to stabilisation.
I've been looking at reviews for the 10-18mm lens and this review is the best because you show how close you can get compared to the others. Thanks!
I love the 10-22mm look. I guess when it all comes down to it, it's what appeals to you and defines your own style.
As always, you're reviews are spot on and so helpful!
I've had the Tokina for several years and I don't go anywhere without it. Great lens and love the f2.8 feature of it.
@Lathrop Logistics not so much . It definitely makes some sound but not that terrible.
I really appreciated your video. It's about one mounth i'm thinking to buy one of this three objectives, and today i've bought the canon 10 - 18. I'm waiting from Amazon. And than i saw your video. Happy to see i've done the right choise.
Which on would you recommend for filming shortfilms and landscape fotography? 10 - 18 because of the IS or the 11 - 16 because of the f 2.8?
It seems I always seek out these comparisons after the fact, but it's nice to see I chose the right lens! I had ordered the 10-18mm on a $299.00(Canadian) boxing day deal, but then was considering a used Tokina at the same price. The Tokina owner is out of town, so I couldn't pull the trigger; glad I didn't. Thanks for a great comparison review of exactly the three lenses I was considering, your effort and expertise are greatly appreciated. 🙏
I came from the Tamron 10-24mm which always had distortion on the edges(old model not new), but i worked with what I had then. Just two months ago I got the 77D, what was my first choice for UWA lens? the Canon 10-18mm stm, trust me all the reviews are NOT wrong about this lens its painfully sharp right across the lens.
I would have got the Tokina for low light work, but I really don't need 2.8 in a bright sunny part of the World that I live in.
Toby is right, unless your doing star trails and night time landscape the Canon will trounce the Tokina every time.
Thanks for a great comparison Toby, love your reviews, always balance and sensible conclusions built on hard facts and your experience.
I was torn between the Canon 10 - 18 and the Tokina 11 - 16 but this video helped me clear my ideas! I was really looking for a review like this with the photo and video comparison (with also the sound, as I was thinking about using the lens also for shooting some videos). Thank you much! You gained a subscriber! ☺️
@100adventurer - Which lens did you go with? How has it been?
I just bought a 10-18 Canon and a Canon 70D so Im very happy with this video :D
+Jakub Duroska Nice!
Jakub Duroska how is the combination?
Max Dostert Its great. Highly recommend
Thank you so much!:)
Most of what I shoot is video indoors in basement so I require the STM and larger aperture. I have video lighting but not sufficient for even my 18-55 at F3.5 without pushing the ISO. It's too bad Canon doesn't have an F2.8 at higher price point. It will cost me a couple hundred just to get sufficient lighting for F4.5. I'd rather that money go into a more robust lens.
Thank you for making this review. I have been making tons of notes have had the hardest darn time figuring out which features are worth giving up on a wide angle lens and which I will be using more. Your straight to the point, non boasting personality also make you enjoyable to watch. So many people start off talking for so long that I have to fast forward to get to the actual info. Thanks again, I will check ya out on Facebook!
This is such a great video! Hands down satisfied every curiosity I had at the moment. Thanks for being so detailed.
Excellent review that helped me so much with making up my mind about which wide angle lens to buy. Every second of the video really well used. And you did it with no cuts :) Thank you.
In my view the 10-18 has too many issues with flaring and ghosting of light sources, be it windows or light bulbs. I have owned the 10-18 for 2 years and recently purchased the 10-22 and the ghosting has completely disappeared from my interior real estate photography meaning i spend much less time in post fixing the ghosting,, the extra $300 for the 10-22 over the 10-18 is worth it for the time savings in post production.
Interesting. I wonder if you had a bad copy.
If I do have a bad lens, I'm not the only one, the online research I have done seems to indicate that it is a fairly common issue, especially within the real estate photography sector.
ep I tested the 10-18 from canon and tested with sigma 10-20 and tokina 11-16... 10-18 has problems with light bulb flares sun and in some cases ghosting ... but I will buy it anyway is a cheep lens and very sharp, I like the macro shoots to:)) I shoot landscape so it will wor for me, but if anyone work with direct light I don't recommended
Agree. Unfortunately I haven't tried the other lenses and I'm itching to resolve this. The flare is in about 50% of my interior real estate shots. Outside it's not as much a problem with the lens hood, but I'm not as happy with my 10-18mm as all these reviewers seem to be but it's when comparing to the other limited choices for a crop.
Thank you for the good review. I just bought USED Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX lens for my Canon 70D and found that auto focus does not focusing correct especially at the short distance and need to be corrected with manual focus but my other lenses are fine. Would like to have your opinion, please, do you think is something wrong with the lens or ...? Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the detailed review. I was confused between 10-188mm and 10-22mm since the former has a plastic mount. This review helped me a lot. Going for the 10-18mm.
I have used the Canon 10-22 for a few years now and it is great! However, I suffer from G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome) and may just have to pick up that 10-18 for video with that STM quietness! Thanks for your reviews with video AND pics.
Thank you! this is the best video on youtube displaying the auto focus noise! a lot of other reviewers either skip this issue or don't compare the sounds! I'll be getting the 10-18 for the silence :)
You bet!
Came across your video today. Love the comparisons. U explained all very well and at an understandable pace. I will buy that 10-18mm lens for my Canon EOS 800D. It will suit my Real Estate well.
thank for the review. I've bought the 10-18mm because of all the glowing reviews everywhere. I have a 17-40mm but I wanted an even wider lens and this seems to be the best one (for cropped sensors)
Greatly appreciate this video. I will be purchasing the Canon 10-18mm after much debate and watching this video. Definitely cleared it up for me, and allowed me the ability to make a sound choice. Great work, you have a new subscriber from here on out! - James, DJMP
Great video even after ten years. I love the 10 - 18. I bought a metal mount replacement part for the plastic mount. I got it on Amazon and the install was easy.
I just purchased the Tokina 11 - 20mm from Amazon. The Focus Mechanism is not working. I am about to return it... I really NEED the f/2.8 because most of my photos and video work is in dark night clubs. I will go purchase the Canon 10 - 18mm instead. I seem to have problems with NON CANON lenses. I also have the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. It focuses too slow for what I do. I rented the Tokina 11 - 16 from Adorama to test to see if I would like it before I purchased the Tokina and I loved it. Now my lens arrives in the mail and it's not working.... UGGGGGG!!!! So I will STICK TO CANON LENSES!!!!
Thank you for your ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL REVIEWS. They are much needed and appreciated.
Hi, I have a question. I know that Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm F2.8 wasn't mentioned in this video, but I just couldn't find any comparisons between it and Canon 10-18mm. In case you tested both, can I ask, which one of them would you recommend for video recording more? They are both at pretty similar price point right now and I am not sure which one to choose. Thank you very much for your time. :)
Nice breakdown on the lenses, so excited I just bought my 10-18mm lens online about to get it this week. Thank you man. I ant wait to do my vlogs with it.
What about the Sigma 10-20? I want an ultra wide to start with landscapes and I've seen the Sigma 10-20, Canon 10-18 and the Tokina you mentioned.
The fact is: I red a lot of nice reviews about the Canon 10-18(as you said no reasons to consider the 10-22) but it's way cheaper and "plasticky" so I wonder: if I have the budget would the Sigma/Tokina be better or the Canon price is just fooling me for no reason? What do you think of the Sigma?
Thanks for a great review of these lenses Toby! Can you please let me know which camera and lens you used to record yourself in the first section of the video?(0:12 to 9:00 or so) Thanks!
Canon 5D Mark III and a good prime lens. See more at photorec.tv/whats-in-our-camera-bags/
Which one would you choose for milky way landscape astrophotography if you had the choice between the Tokina 11-16 and the Canon 10-18 ?
The Tokina has a constant aperture of 2.8, meaning that you will get anywhere from 1-2 stops more light. This could mean dropping the ISO down from 3200 to 1600 or even 800! In my opinion, this makes it better for astrophotography :)
Unfortunately I had two Tokina 11-16 now, both with sharpening problems in infinity. I now got myself a Sigma 10-22mm f/3.5
I'll see tonight if it's a good choice.
them0rtn let me know how the sigma's like :)
+Florian Fabian I'm back from a Milky Way trip and I can say, the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is the right objective for me :) After I was extremely disapointed from the two Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 I tried, the Sigma has healed the wounds. I got mine for 399€, so I guess it's still in a good price range and an alternative for the Canon 10-22
halitic so, why is bad Tokina? I need some one for my landscape, I have a Nikon 3400, but now I'm confusing
I'm an absolute noob with these lenses and this video was great.
I assumed that the new Canon would be a "cheaper" lens than the Tokina because of the brand premium bit. But looking at that chormatic aberration from the Tokina... it just put off buying it!
I fount it second hand for 165 euros, vs 225 for the Canon brand new.
I think I'll save up for the Canon.
Thanks for your really useful video, of all the reviews on the 10-18mm lens, I found this to be the most informative. A wide angle lens is something I have been sitting on the fence on for a while, mainly justifying the cost. Helps that the 10-18mm is the same filter size (67mm) as 18-135mm, saving lots on extra filters! Could I just ask, how does the 10-18mm perform on long exposures, I know you said no starry skies, but what about dawn and dusk shots?
PS. Sorry but I don't shop from B&H, mostly due to the customs charges that I'd be dealing with. Believe Amazon UK also give commissions? Not sure about DigitalRev or Onestopdigital?
Very nice video Toby.
I'm deciding if i should get the Tokina or the canon 10-18 though i like the tokina more than the canon. I have the 18-135mm stm so i dont really need another stm. I love the f2.8 good for shooting night sky/scene and the only thing the downside it doesn't have IS.. but does it matter if i shoot for landscape outdoors aswell?
Help would be appreciate.
The 10-22 f3.5-4.5 USM is the classic alrounder; good range, and good aperture.
The 10-18 f4.5-5.6 IS STM is a good entry level UWA that is small, lightweight, cheap and the STM is great for videos, but limited zoom range and limited low light.
The Tokina 11-16 f2.8 is great for wide aperture, but very limited range.
Tokina has a significant amount of ghosting and flarring when pointed yowards light sources, whereas the canon copes with those issues much more elegantly
hi there, many thanks for the video, its very helpfull for many questions about this class lensess. i want to ask you about tokina 11-16 f:2.8 because i have the canon 10-18 mm lens for my apsc camera and i really didnt like its video sharpness. i am using tamron24-70 mm on my full frame dslr camera, tamron's wide angle sharpness and contrass is very well for for my video works. but on my second camera -7dmark ii apsc- the 10-18 is a disapointment for me. Maybe i am talking between very different lens classes but i want to ask you is tokina can solve my problem? or what do you suggest for me?
Just got a used 10-22mm at KEH excellent rate at $117.00 for my R7. it is a bargain lens. It is super fast and images are clear. I did look at those kit lens RF for the R7 but build quality is not compared to the old EF-S lens.
Fantastic video, thanks for making this. I've got a really tough decision as to which lens to get.... I'm going to Iceland soon and want to take photos of the Northern Lights if we are lucky enough to see them whilst there. Having had a look on flickr there are some absolutely amazing shots with the Tokina, and obviously hardly any with the 10-18 due to the aperture difference (such a shame Canon couldn't make this lens 2.8 but then I guess the price would be a lot higher).. our trip is for a week, and then when I get home I will be shooting landscape shots between dawn, day and dusk, in England, UK... so I wouldn't neccessarily _need_ the Tokina back home.... What do you think I should do ? I could hire the Tokina for Iceland and buy the Canon when I come back from our trip I guess, but I don't know whether to just buy the Tokina and save having to spend money on hiring a lens just for Iceland.
Terrific review,Toby. You answered exactly what I was wondering and wanted to know...
Hi Toby, I hadn't heard of your channel before today. Whilst looking at sample images from members of a forum, I came across a link to this comparison. Was very useful, thank you. I shall be subscribing!
Gareth Fallon Wonderful. Where did you hear about me? Thanks!
Thank you for your review. You helped me make a definitive decision on purchasing the 10-18
Great review you are a pro! Question:
What set up did you use to film this review?
I'm looking for a wide angle to have a better reach at shooting fireworks shows. I'm not sure if I should pick the Tokina, on of the Canons or even the Sigma 10-20mm. What would you recommend ? I don't like the fact that the 10-18mm Canon is full plastic.
I ended up going with the Tokina due to the low-light performance and the ability to use it on my bmpcc 4k w/speedbooster combo but what I got was un-fixable chromatic aberration and poor image quality so I sold it and bought a used Canon 10-18mm. I can only use it on my Rebel T8i now but the image quality so much better.
Thank you for this review! I've been trying to figure what wide lens to get :)
I am using a canon 18-135 IS STM ...and i can it's a very silent a razor sharp new technology lens ..the 10-18 will surely do good job ..thanks for the video
Nice and helpfull video. On video use, the auto-focus sound it seems to be a huge problem, so can you tell me which is the lens used at 17:38 that doesn´t make any sound at all? And at 17:48, is the other canon? Ty
carlos neves the 10-18 STM, that is the silent lens.
Hi Toby,I looked at your review on the Sigma 17-70. Thank you for that. I'm now thinking of buying one. Here where i live i can buy a refurbished one for 400 US or the older version for around 300 US. Is the newer version much better than the last should i save myself a hundred US and go with the older model? What would you do?
Thanks for the detailed review. Apart from the problem while shooting night sky with Canon 10-18 which you mentioned in the video, is there any problem with it while shooting landscapes? Also is there any other lens suggestion that you have for wide angle landscape?
Very good review. Had to hit the subscribe. I just got the Sigma 17-50mm but I am missing that wide angle so this review was very helpful. Keep 'em coming.
Good morning there, would like your honest opinion bro. sigma 10-20, tamron 10-24, tokina 11-16 and the tokina 12-24.. between the four 3rd party lenses.. which suits me most? i am doing weddings, outdoors/landscaping and a lil bit of video. am using a nikon d7100. thanks :)
Sir can we use canon apsc lenses with fujifilm cameras ?
thanks for this demo comparison
the 10-18 is still an impressive little gem of a lens
What camera and lens did you use to shoot yourself on this vid? It looks excellent!
Hi, for a real estate video, wich one is better brother? thanks for the answer, i think tokina is the best option because the interior of the houses.. isnt it?
Honestly all three would do well. Inside a house where it is dark the faster aperture could help but really you want good depth of field inside always so you should be on a tripod.
PhotoRec TV I’ve a ronin s and canon 10-18 but I’m unsatisfied with it and I’m looking to buy the Tokina 11-16 :/
hey Toby,.. i have a question, i need a wide angle lens,.. which of these two you recommend for me???
Canon 10-18 stm. or Sigma 10-18 3.5 ???
Canon!
I really apreciate this! exactly im looking beetwen this two lenses the Tokina and the Canon 10-22 and maybe you can help me. My first idea is for Landscapes and some kind of Milkyway timelapses, can you give me an advice? i feel the 10-22 a little bit more sharpness and the colors but is not too fast. What did you think? Thanks for this!!!
love your channel!!! i watched your reviews and commend the detail you give and how professional you are with your delivery and with your videos.
For fast moving objects or persons in your video... which lens do you recommend for my canon 70d, the tokina or canon 10-18?
thank you!
Hi, I am a nikon user so do not have the option to go with canon 10-18mm (i wish i could have a canon camera especially for wide angle lens), anyways...please could you advise whether i can go ahead with the (Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II AF 11 - 16 mm f/2.8). I want a wide angle lens which will last for atleast a decade with me and i can use it for any landscape shoot. Please comment, thanks :)
Thanks for this informative comparison. Quick question, would you still recommend the Canon 10-18mm over the new Tokina 11-20 Atx-i?
Hi, thanks for great review! I am looking for wide angle lens to shoot for mainly night photography. I currently have 30mm f/1.4 sigma. which does great photos in the dark but obviously it doesnt zoom and many times its frustrating because things like buildings and night sky don't fit. so I am leaning toward tokina 11-16. it seems to me for the price it is the best choice. what do you think?
Thanks for the video. I am in the processes of upgrading my gear and since I shoot real estate, the 10-18 is a top contender now.
great video, i'm saving up for 10-18stm!
Hey hello! I have a question. I own a 750d. If I use this lwns on my camera will it be a 16-28 due to it's 1,6 crop factor or will I actualu get that really wide 10-18 Thanks in advance :)
Love the video! Quick question.. I'm getting into wide angle photography and am interested in this 10-18mm lens as well as the Tokina 11-16mm. I will definitely use either lens for daytime landscape shots and other shots during the day but i'm also trying to get into astrophotography and low light shoots. I know that the 2.8 would probably be better than the 4.5 for these low light situations but wanted to get your opinion on these specific areas. I'm also thinking about adding the 50mm 1.8 or the 40mm 2.8 for these low light options/ astrophotography but wasn't sure if either of these lens would perform well for these tasks. any help is appreciated thanks. also currently shooting on t2i
I don't really take many indoor photos. Looking for more of a Landscape lens and trying to get into night/star photography. I already have a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8. Which of the 10-18 or the 11-16 would you recommend? Or would you maybe recommend a prime lens (ie 20mmf2.8)?
Hi Toby, I have 70d + 18-135mm lens. I like to shoot landscape a lot and start consider to buy a wide angle lens. Do you still recommend I buy 10-18mm? What's pros that 10-18mm over 18-135mm besides the wider angle? Is image quality better? sharper? Appreciate you thoughts in advance
hello, toby, like your videos a lot, do you have a review for canon 17-35mm, canon 17-40mm, vs tokina 16-28mm review, any pros & cons for landscape/night shoot? Appreciate your opinion,
if I already have 10-18mm, would the 11-16mm F/2.8 Tokina be worth the upgrade cost?
Sometimes I can't setup a light and vlog in lower light conditions. Since I record at 24fps, I run 1/50, but with the 10-18mm, that means the widest aperture I can run is F/4.5 which makes me have to use 400ISO or 800ISO. I'd like to be able to use 200ISO at least.
Yes - the 11-16 would be really helpful in those situations.
I've been really wanting to see a comparison of these thank god you put it up. :)
Thank you sooo much Toby, I really needed this review as I am looking for a wide angle lens for my Canon 90D and with your help I have come to a consensus on the 10-18mm lens.
Thank you for sharing. I just bought this lens. I subbed.
Thanks for the sub! Appreciated.
hey there,
can you tell me which one to get on an apsc sensor?
Rokinon 10mm f2.8
tokina 11-16 f2.8
Rokinon 14mm f2.8
I intend to be doing some star trails and landscapes
Rokinon 10
i've already bought this lens 10-18mm..suprisingly it better than 10-22 usm.
Hi i have canon 650d and im looking for a wide angle lens for landscapes shooting, im not gonna shoot any stars.
i saw there is a Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM lens but im not sure which lend is better for me - the one above or the tokina 11-16
thanx for ur help.
Shay.
Hi! I’ve been thinking about buying the 10-18mm but I just wanted to know first if it’s any good for portraits??
Excellent lens especially given the low price point. I have used it for video and photography and never noticed the noise of it's focusing system.
Nice review, altough i´ m a bit late :) I already own the 10-18 and it tends to flare a lot, when i use it for landscapes. So i´m thinking about getting the 10-22. I read some reviews, where it shows less weakness in that case. I´m also looking for a lens, that is better for starphotography - any suggestions here? Maybe a fixed lens 10mm, if there anything on the market?!
Nice review!! I'm trying to find a f/1.4 or f/1.8 wide angle lense for my canon 760D, which one would you recommend me?? Thanks :)
Great review. Helped me decide to grab a 10-18. Thanks
I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark111 with EF 24-105 mm lens. I have recently taken up photography as a hobby and am looking for a good Wide-Angle lens for my camera. I would like to know which one to buy as I know nothing about lenses.
Thank you very much for this video, I was going to go for the Canon 10-22, but now going with the Canon 10-18. The only real reason I'm not going Tokina is because of the 1.6mm difference at the wide end on the 7DII. Do B&H ship to England please?
If you shoot wedding and use APS-C Canons, I recommend the Tokina hands down. And if you film, still Tokina by far. This is from my expierence. Never used the 10-18mm, but I have used the 10-22 and the Tokina.
do you work for Tokina???
hi Toby,
I know you are a busy person, but i hope you get some time to reply and that will help me a big time:)
I need your help:
I m looking to upgrade my kit lens, I have a 550D, with the following lenses:
50mm 1.8
18-135mm Kit lens
After your recommendations, I am thinking of adding 10-18mm, you think this will work on my 550D?
also what other lens would you recommend for me, I am new to this and budget is not super high, I mostly do Filming for fun and make action or some short independent movies.
What do you think about Canon 24-105 L lens for my camera for videos?
please reply so I can make a decision.
and I will be following your link.....to place an order unless its cheaper somewhere else.. remember budget is low :)
Best.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks Toby!
Best review on this lenses I seen so far .thanks .
Very nice comparison, Thanks! :) I have many doubts about the Caon EF-S 10-18 because of its f 4,5-f 5,6, but i don't have much money, so... i am curious and looking after some review of samyang (rokinon, bower, etc) wide angle lenses (14 and the new 10mm f 2,8). I don't fear the manual focusing (i've started shooting in the film era), but, well... how is the samyang 10mm in comparison with the canon ef-s 10-18? Thanks! :)
Thanks for a good review.. im looking for a wide angle lens for my 70d that i'm gonna shoot
pic/video in day light/night as well. which ones would you choice of all 3 and why?
Great video! What would you recommend as being the most cost effective Camera and Lens for a vlogger, a lot of moving objects at times, and still videos too? Ideally, I want a Canon 70D with the 10-18 lens but is there a cheaper one that can get the job done?
JB talks don’t get the 70d imo because it doesn’t do 60fps
The sl2 is great
Thank YOu for the review. I was reviewing the Canon 10-18... I didn't know about the other two at all....
Very nice comparison with images but what is left out is the image quality comparison and giving a proposal what each of these lenses would suit for. I know that you can find this information on many web sites but it would be nice to have it also here at one place. I am deciding between Tokina and Canon 10-22 and so far I'm more on Canon side. Tokina is supposed to be more sharp especially when stopped down but it has really heavy CA issues and shooting directly to sun will produce a lot of sun glare and ghosts. Canon 10-22 is not as sharp as Tokina (even though from sample images I saw elsewhere it seems that it has better sharpness in corners than Tokina) but it has better handling of CA and is excellent when shooting towards sun. I haven't checked 10-18, yet but I had an opportunity to test it for a while and I wasn't impressed with sharpness.
Which one would you recommend for landscape photography?
Thanks for the review Toby, I have already bought the Canon 10-18mm STM for my 70D so I am pleased that you like it. You mentioned about updating the camera firmware for the Canon 10-18mm, how would I know which lenses are currently supported by the firmware and how would I update the cameras firmware, does it have to go back to the store? In the box for the 10-18mm was a leaflet that said the camera firmware would have to be updated if I was using a Rebel T5i/700D but didn't mention anything about the 70D.
Hi Paul, They should release new firmware soon - it will be a file that we can download form the canon site - follow me on facebook facebook.com/Digital.Photo.Recommendations/ and I will be sure to let people know.
